Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Wedding Attire: Wear cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and dark jackets and slacks. Consider comfortable shoes for walking on gravel, grass, and sidewalks. We are celebrating at an outdoor venue in summer in Colorado. Watch the weather and bring layers as Colorado weather can fluctuate between varying seasons in one day! Rehearsal Dinner Attire: Wear cocktail dress, nice sundress, collared shirts and khakis/slacks
Question
What is the best way to get to the venue?
Answer
You can access the venue easily by vehicle. Either private vehicle or Uber/Lyft. There is plenty of parking at the venue in the gravel lot or on the adjacent street.
Question
What is the setting like at the venue?
Answer
The venue is a 4.5 acre garden set on a Hillside. There are multiple different areas you can walk around to see. Terrain varies from sidewalk, gravel, and grass. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors in the garden at the base of the hillside. While the reception will take place in a covered pavilion, it is open air. This pavilion is directly next to the garden where the ceremony and cocktail hour will take place. Golf carts are available upon request.

Question
What is the weather like?
Answer
Colorado Locals will tell you if you don’t like the weather in Colorado, just wait ten minutes. Typically July in Colorado Springs is sunny and warm with average temps between 50-85°. We suggest you come prepared for any weather as the venue is primarily outdoors.
Question
I am visiting from out of state, what should I know about altitude?
Answer
Colorado Springs altitude is 6.033 feet above sea level! It usually takes a few days for your body to adjust to altitude changes. It may be helpful to arrive a day or two prior to the wedding if this is feasible for you. If not, there are still plenty of things you can do to assure you are comfortable: - Stay hydrated: It is recommended you add an extra 32oz of water to your daily intake for a few days before arriving in Colorado. - Stay rested: Take a nap when you can. Avoid sleep deprivation. - Be aware of how much alcohol you consume as the altitude can decrease alcohol tolerance, make you feel drunk faster (but sometimes you don't realize until you have consumed too much too fast!) - Eat carbs. Carbs help our body absorb oxygen better so be sure to eat up! - Wear Sunscreen! The air is thinner here making your skin more susceptible to the sun's harmful rays. Apply sunscreen frequently and liberally. People who travel to Colorado Springs from lower elevations may experience altitude sickness. Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: Headache Nausea Vomiting Fatigue Dizziness Shortness of Breath
